How to Make It

  • 1

    In a large bowl, whisk together 190 g all-purpose flour, 2 tbsp granulated sugar, 1 1/2 tsp baking powder, 1/2 tsp baking soda and 1/2 tsp salt.

  • 2

    In a separate medium bowl, whisk together 300 ml buttermilk, 1 large egg and 30 g melted unsalted butter.

  • 3

    Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. A few lumps are okay; do not overmix, as this can make pancakes tough.

  • 4

    Heat a non-stick griddle or large skillet over medium-low heat (160-175°C) and grease it lightly with 5 g of the butter. Pour 1/4 cup of batter per pancake onto the hot surface.

  • 5

    Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and bubbles form on the surface before flipping.

  • 6

    Serve immediately with the warm maple syrup and the remaining 15 g butter.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are buttermilk pancakes?

Buttermilk pancakes are a United States breakfast dish made from a batter of flour, buttermilk, eggs, sugar, and leavening agents. They are typically served as a stack topped with maple syrup.

How do I know when to flip the buttermilk pancakes for perfect doneness?

Wait until you see bubbles forming on the surface and the edges begin to set, typically 2-3 minutes per side. The underside should be golden brown.

What's the best way to substitute buttermilk if I don't have any on hand for this recipe?

Combine 1 tablespoon of white vinegar or lemon juice with regular milk to make 1 cup, then let it sit for 5-10 minutes until it slightly curdles.

How can I prevent my buttermilk pancakes from becoming tough or rubbery?

Mix the batter minimally until just combined and some lumps remain. Overmixing develops the gluten, resulting in a dense texture rather than fluffy.

What's the ideal temperature for cooking these pancakes to get a golden-brown finish without burning?

Cook pancakes on a griddle or non-stick pan heated to medium-low, around 325-350°F (160-175°C). This allows them to cook through evenly and achieve a beautiful golden crust.
